WARREN P. MILLER, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLE-VALVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 573,94 8, datedSeptember 1I', 1866.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I,.WARREN I. MILLER, ot' the city and county of SanFrancisco, and State of California, have i nvented a new Mode ofConstructing Gravitation Valves for Bott-les; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full and exact description thereof, referencebein g had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of referencemarked thereon.

Figure No. l is a View of the valve-case inserted into the neck of abottle; Fig: No. 2, a section ot' the case and valve and the device bywhich the valve is operated; Fig. No.3, section ot` the same,representing the valve as being open.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing,` a case ot'suitable size to be inserted into the neck of abottle, said caseprovided with a valve that will close when the bottle stands onitsbot-tom, and open when the bottle is turned on its side.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its construction and operation.

I construct a round case, as shown atb, Fig. 1, with ange k and inclineh. c, Figs 2 and 3, is a beam, (f the pivot,) to which the valve-stern land the weight g are attached. c .is the valve; j, the hole in the topof the case into which the valve is titted; t', hole in the bottoniofthe case, through which the liquid iows, but Which is closed by theWeight at the saine time that the valve closes the top.

rlhe object ot' closing the bottom ot'ut-he case by the Weight is,first, to prevent the liquid Afrom entering,` the case Whilethe valve isyet closed; second, the liquid is used to force the WeightdoWn theincline, and thus insure the opening of the valve.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

VThe valve c, when made to operate in the case b by means of the Weightg, substantially as shown and described.
